Getting Rid of Us and Them in the Church—October 28
Guest: Alcris Limongi
In this session, we will briefly name the processes of exclusion, marginalization, and structural inequality that are often unexamined in the church—what we call othering—and seek actions that move towards a church of belonging where there is mutual power, access, and opportunity for all people who share the space. (Find more information on the CCS website or register for a zoom link.)
Christmas Rapture--November 18
Guest: TBA
According to a podcast on Spotify called “The Christmas Rapture”, on Christmas Eve nearly seventy years ago, Dorothy Martin and the Seekers stood outside singing carols while waiting for a spacecraft that would shepherd them away from Earth — and the impending apocalypse. Maybe they were inspired by the gospel reading in the lectionary for the first Sunday in Advent, where some are whisked away and others are left. In this session of CCS Fridays, we explore what rapture has to do with Christmas. It will be just in time for you to prepare your sermon for November 27.

Lambeth Learnings—December TBA
Guest: TBA
What were the important Lambeth Learnings about relating and making decisions in a world wide communion? In this session we will hear what a Lambeth participant learned and discuss how these insights could inform inter-church and ecumenical relations. (Watch the CCS website for registration link.)
